Vapor XV grip...

[cobrAA 0]

Well...simple question...simple answer please...

How the Vapor XV grip is it compared to other?? more soft grip....or more synergy grip version(the yellow one)...

Thanks

It's the same as the Vapor XX's stick-um grip, its not as tacky as the 03-04 SyNergy Grip but more of a subtle grip, very nice in my opinion..

Besides the reviews in the Equipment Review section, does anyone else have any other feedback on this shaft? I am thinking of getting one for next season.

grip comes off easily. pretty good balance with my synthesis blade, but with an R2 its perfect. more of a rounded shaft too. paint does not chip. Solid/light shaft overall.

any one use it..comparing to a R2 XN10??..how the balance is?? how light is it??...how DURABLE??

because i have a L-2(maybe it because i'm not used to but..) i don't really like the balance of it compared to my R2 XN10/Syns combo

P.S:I matched my L-2 with a L-2 blade didn't like it..now i use it with a franklin wood cut to fit tapered...and it a bit better...

No stick or shaft I've used puts as much zip on a shot as an XN10. I use the R2XN10 shaft most of the time.

i also have an xn10 but its a OPS. You cant beat the balance of the XN10 and i still have not found anything that compares to it in the shot department. And I agree 100% with Chadd, ive tried stealth xx you name it, nothing gives me a harder shot. weight wise (285g for the shaft and whatever for the blade, 145g for synthesis) its light but not super light. and yes its durable.

I've used 2 XX's, 1 RL Xn10, an Xn10 and am currently using an R2 Xn10 and all have by far outperformed the XX. I like the XV shaft for its grip and wouldn't mind picking one up as a back-up, but IMO it doesn't really compare to the Xn10.... its just those Vapor graphics are so damn sexy :)

That's funny because mine chips really easy but the grip hasn't peeled off at all.

Still a great shaft.

With the R2 XN10..you can't get the great balance of the XN10...but it still very nice...i think the synthesis blade is a pretty good blade...and the R2XN10 is extremely light..

But i break on R2 XN10 after only 1 month and a half...but my other one...still last me(after like 3-4 month)

I think the ''zip'' is pretty more mental than anything....well when you pay 250CND for a shaft you expect to be the best...so you think it is...

Nice option with the VAPOR XV...it has a 87 flex...the little soft grip!! and it a bit concave like the R2 XN10 too...graphic isn't bad too!!

OFF TOPIC---How the R2 perform/feel/balance compared to the improved R2 XN10??

[Gongshow11 1]

250 cdn for it? rousseau ripped u off, go to frasers

[cobrAA 0]

i bought it at joe sports in pierrefond...because rousseau dind't have any tapered shaft except for the synthesis... and 220CND is the normal for R2 XN10...i never saw a lower price than this one...220+tax=250

Dang it's 169.99 here in BC. But then add our horrendous tax and i guess it's up there as well.

I switched this season from Easton Synthesis to the Vapor XV and will never go back!!! I really like the roundness of the shaft (but I also liked the Branches RC). I use a Mission L2 shaft as a back up and I feel that the XV has MUCH better feel that the L2. Durability of the XV has been good, except a little peeling of the grip. I have not yet tried the XN10 Shaft but that will be next....... B)

Feel is good, but it's a little heavier and doesn't put as much extra zip on the shot. It's still a very good shaft.
